President Muhammadu Buhari left the All Progressive Congress (APC) campaign ground in Bauchi on Monday for Lagos without saying a word to the crowd about his party’s standard bearer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
While many saw Buhari’s action as a bad omen for Tinubu’s aspiration, some other schools of thought heaped the blame on the malfunction of the sound system at the campaign ground.
On Monday, the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Bauchi was hosting the rally when it unexpectedly came to a halt when the light failed to come back on.
Shortly after Abdullahi Adamu, the APC’s national chairman climbed the podium and started speaking, the light went out.
The President Muhammadu Buhari who was present at the rally, had to leave immediately with his entourage.
To lead the APC’s presidential and governorship campaign rallies, Buhari had traveled to Bauchi.
Around 10:20 am, the plane carrying the President landed at Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Airport in Bauchi.
